Just to add to what Dave has already said. Hoagy Carmichael is one of my mothers favourite all time artists. Yep he had attitude and was considered unconventional. Yep he was experimental. Yep he did not have electronic technology. He had TALENT and ability by the shed load.
Some of the most talented guys just stand and play. No attitude or OTT showmanship. Whereas some of the worst players are just all mouth and show with no substance.
Smoke and mirrors do not hide lack of technical ability.
Never much cared for fingerpainting much after nursery school. By then I was able to pick up a paintbrush.
